Seattle is an international city with major corporate headquarters.

I personally would rather Seattle get a less supported team like the Grizz or Hornets, but if the Seattle group did end up purchasing the Kings, it wouldn&#39;t exactly be the same thing. <br /><br />When Bennett bought the Sonics, he claimed he wanted to keep the Sonics in Seattle, when in fact he had no desire to do so and his group intentionally did everything in their power to make the team fail and lose money in Seattle so they would have an excuse to move. I don&#39;t think people here were nearly as upset about the team being sold as they were about being fed blatant lies and deception.<br /><br />I think the Seattle group is pretty upfront about what they want: an NBA team in Seattle. <br /><br />As far as the arena goes, again, it&#39;s a completely different deal. Schultz and Bennett wanted the city and/or state to pay for a new arena. The new stadium will be paid for solely by private money and funds generated by the stadium. I think we stood our ground pretty well on that one. <br /><br />Again, we all know the pain of losing a team, and I REALLY, really hope it&#39;s not the Kings, but sadly, with no expansion on the horizon, it&#39;s going to have to be SOMEBODY&#39;S team.Paul Merrillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07413382016761430333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-12672286352576542082012-02-17T13:21:46.745-08:002012-02-17T13:21:46.745-08:00This is very sad to read.
